: Can I assume you mean "not fir'Bolg-trained?"
: There aren't any actual fir'Bolg in Myth2. Yeah, I
: agree that he's ordinary Legion, not one of the
: specially-trained guys.
It doesn't matter to me if he's fir'Bolg trained, that wouldn't change his accent. fir'Bolg don't have the english accent.
: A couple of additional smidgens of evidence: In "A
: Murder of Crows," the narrator's group of
: prisoners encounter Phelot pre-game and the narrator
: recognizes him (again demonstrating his erudition; I
: doubt too many soldiers would recognize on sight a
: moderately-famous enemy from a war sixty years ago),
: and he and his fellow prisoners resolve to escape and
: free the Deceiver. Then, in-game, Phelot drops by the
: enclosure where a group of archers are being held and
: sets them free; one of the archers says "That was
: Phelot, right?" And then they go off to rescue
: their comrades and Myrdred. It doesn't take much
: imagination to identify the narrator's prison group
: with that group of archers.
Aha! I KNEW I forgot something...
: Forrest mentioned earlier that the narrator's being given
: the TFL journal by Garrick suggested to him that the
: narrator was of higher rank than just a grunt; it now
: seems to me additional evidence that he was a bowman
: rather than a warrior. Any Myth player knows that the
: bowmen are placed in much less risk, proportionately,
: and GURPS confirms that this is Legion policy. So it
: would make sense to give the journal to the unit most
: likely to survive the upcoming battles.
Yep. Also, bowmen, because of their skill, would generally be treated as if they ranked higher than a simple warrior of same rank.
